THE  DEPARTMENT  OF 

MINING    ENGINEERING 

UNIVERSITY  OF  ILLINOIS 
INTRODUCTION 

HpHE  Department  of  Mining  Engineering  at  the 
University  of  Illinois  was  established  in  1909  by 
the  legislature,  as  a  result  of  the  efforts  of  a  com- 
mittee representing  the  mine  operators,  mine  workers, 
mine  inspectors,  and  manufacturers  of  the  State. 
The  buildings  in  which  the  department  is  now  housed 
were  completed  and  the  equipment  of  them  begun 
in  1912. 

The  offices,  lecture  rooms,  drafting  room,  museum, 
library  and  laboratories  for  safety  lamps  and  mine 
gases  occupy  the  second  floor  of  the  Transportation 
building  shown  on  the  front  cover.  This  is  a  three- 
story  fire-proof  structure,  143  ft.  by  165  ft.  The 
mining  laboratory  shown  on  page  6  is  a  brick  struc- 
ture 142  ft.  by  42  ft.  and  is  divided  into  four  units  as 
follows:  coal  washing  and  preparation;  ore  dressing 
and  metallurgy;  mining;  analytical  and  sampling  de- 
partment. 

CURRICULUM 

All  curriculums  in  the  College  of  Engineering  are 
the  same  during  the  freshman  year  and  with  the 
exception  of  one  subject  the  same  during  the  sopho- 
more year.  This  differentiation  is  expressed  in  the 
mining  engineering  curriculum  by  the  subject  of 
engineering  geology.  In  the  junior  year  the  dis- 
tinctly technical  mining  courses  are  earth  and  rock

excavation,  mining  methods  and  mechanical  engineer- 
ing of  mines,  and  the  student  rounds  out  his  general 
engineering  training  by  courses  in  quantitative 
analysis,  surveying,  steam  engineering,  elementary 
electrical  engineering  and  applied  mechanics,  and  the 
first  of  three  non-technical  electives  which  are  re- 
quired before  graduation  in  order  that  there  may  be 
gained  through  contact  the  broadening  influence  of 
some  fields  of  knowledge  other  than  the  special  tech- 
nical courses  necessarily  pursued.  During  the  last 
two  years  the  student  may  take  specialized  work  in 
coal  mining,  ore  mining,  oil  and  gas,  or  metallurgical 
engineering.  While  these  have  the  same  fundamental 
work  in  general  metallurgy,  ore  dressing,  mine  exami- 
nation, mining  law,  and  accounting,  they  differ  some- 
what in  other  content.  The  coal  mining  option 
emphasizes  mine  ventilation,  coal  preparation,  gas 
and  fuel  analysis,  coal  plant  design,  utilization  of 
fuels  and  mine  surveying.  The  ore  mining  option 
specializes  assaying,  ore  dressing,  ore  plant  design,  mine 
valuation,  economic  geology,  ore  concentration  and 
surveying.  The  oil  and  gas  option  emphasizes  drilling 
and  boring,  technology  of  petroleum,  organic  chemistry, 
stratigraphy,  topographic  surveying  and  economic 
geology.  The  metallurgical  option  requires  special 
work  in  ferrous  and  non-ferrous  metallurgy,  assaying, 
ore  preparation,  metallurgical  design,  metallography, 
ore  concentration,  and  the  utilization  of  fuels.  The  aim 
of  these  options  is  better  to  prepare  graduates  for  the 
special  field  they  expect  to  enter  in  mining  engineering. 
Not  only  do  the  students  of  this  department 
have  all  the  advantages  of  a  mining  school,  but  also

the  cultural  and  technical  benefits  to  be  derived  from 
a  great  university  and  an  engineering  college  of  the 
highest  standing. 

Before  graduation  all  students  are  required  to  take 
a  supervised  inspection  trip  which  may  include  the 
coal  mines,  the  lead  and  zinc  mines  and  smelters,  and 
the  cement  plants,  of  which  there  are  many  examples 
in  the  State.  The  trips  may  also  include  the  lead 
mines  and  concentrators  of  southeastern  Missouri  or 
some  of  the  many  iron  and  steel  and  other  metallurgical 
plants  and  mining  machinery  manufactories  in  the 
Chicago  district.  Students  are  also  advised  to  spend 
their  summer  vacations  working  at  mines  or  metal- 
lurgical plants  and  aid  is  offered  by  the  department 
to  the  students  in  securing  such  positions. 

GRADUATE    WORK 

Graduate  work  in  advanced  mining  methods,  ad- 
vanced preparation  of  coal  and  ores,  miners'  organ- 
izations; mine  examination  and  reporting,  welfare 
work,  and  mining  education,  is  offered  to  graduates 
in  mining  engineering  and  affiliated  courses  in  the 
University  of  Illinois,  and  to  graduates  in  similar 
courses  from  institutions  whose  requirements  for  the 
Bachelor's  degree  are  substantially  equivalent  to  those 
of  the  University  of  Illinois.  The  degree  of  Master 
of  Science  in  mining  engineering  may  be  conferred 
after  the  completion  of  one  year's  academic  work  in 
residence  and  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy  in 
Engineering  after  a  minimum  period  of  study  of  three 
years  after  receiving  the  Bachelor's  degree.  The 
professional  degree  of  Engineer  of  Mines  is  conferred 

Page  Nine

MINING   ENGINEERING,   UNIVERSITY    OF    ILLINOIS 

upon  two  classes  of  candidates.  First,  upon  graduates 
in  mining  engineering  of  the  University  of  Illinois,  who 
have  been  engaged  in  acceptable  professional  work 
away  from  the  University  for  a  period  of  not  less 
than  three  years.  Second,  upon  graduates  of  the 
University  of  Illinois  or  institutions  of  equal  standing, 
who  have  been  engaged  in  acceptable  professional 
work  in  residence  at  the  University  for  a  period  of 
not  less  than  three  years  after  receiving  the  degree 
of  Bachelor  of  Science. 

The  general  requirements  for  the  advanced  degrees 
contemplate  work  of  a  high  scholastic  type  in  en- 
gineering science  that  will  attract  students  who  wish 
to  prepare  themselves  as  teachers,  investigators  or 
experts. 

All  of  the  facilities  of  the  graduate  school  of  the 
University  are  open  to  such  students,  and  particular 
attention  is  called  to  work  in  allied  engineering  branches 
and  in  geology,  chemistry,  economics,  political  science, 
and  education. 

RESEARCH 

The  Engineering  Experiment  Station  is  devoted 
entirely  to  research.  Fourteen  research  fellowships 
have  been  established  which  are  distributed  among 
the  different  departments  in  the  College  of  Engineer- 
ing. One-half  of  the  time  of  the  Fellows  in  mining 
engineering  may  be  spent  in  the  study  of  mining 
subjects  or  in  allied  metallurgical,  geological,  chemical 
or  other  approved  subjects.  The  other  half  of  their 
time  is  devoted  to  some  research  problem  in  mining 
or  in  mineral  preparation  under  the  direction  of  the 
staff  of  the  Department  of  Mining  Engineering.

THE    IMPORTANCE    OF    ILLINOIS    AS    A    MINING    AND 
METALLURGICAL    CENTER 

Not  only  is  Illinois  a  great  agricultural  State,  but 
in  value  of  mineral  production  she  ranks  third  among 
all  the  States  of  the  Union,  being  outranked  by 
Pennsylvania  and  West  Virginia  only. 

The  values  and  diversity  of  the  mineral  production 
of  Illinois  in  the  year  191 5  are  shown  by  the  table

The  lead-zinc  mining  district  included  in  north- 
western Illinois  and  southwestern  Wisconsin  is  an 
important  one,  and  adjacent  to  the  State  and  in 
southeastern  Missouri  is  the  district  that  is  perhaps 
the  largest  producer  in  the  world  of  lead  ore. 

As  a  metallurgical  center  the  Chicago  district  ranks 
second  to  Pittsburgh  only.  The  great  steel  mills  and 
by-product  coking  plants  at  Gary,  Indiana,  at  South 
Chicago  and  at  Joliet,  Illinois,  are  included  here. 

The  State  of  Illinois  is  the  greatest  producer  of 
zinc  spelter  in  the  Union,  containing  approximately 
40  per  cent  of  all  the  zinc  retorts  in  the  United  States. 
Within  the  State  are  smelters  for  most  of  the  other 
common  metals. 

Within  100  miles  of  the  University  are  found  all 
kinds  of  bituminous  mines  embodying  many  modifi- 
cations of  the  room  and  pillar  system  of  working,  the 
most  important  long  wall  field  in  the  United  States, 
and  extensive  stripping  mines.

A  location  within  easy  distance  of  such  a  number 
and  variety  of  mining  and  metallurgical  operations 
offers  opportunity  for  a  varied  experience  and  a  field 
for  the  future  activities  of  the  young  engineer. 

An  indication  of  the  demand  for  mining  engineers 
is  the  membership  of  the  American  Institute  of 
Mining  Engineers,  now  over  five  thousand,  most  of 
whom  are  engaged  in  the  operation  of  mining  or 
metallurgical  industries.  In  addition  to  this  major 
and  parent  society,  there  are  in  America  at  least  ten 
other  societies  devoted  to  mining  and  metallurgy. 
Although  the  United  States  Bureau  of  Mines  was 
established  only  in  1910,  it  now  has  a  scientific  staff 
of  over  three  hundred  and  an  examination  of  the 
latest  report  of  the  Director  shows  that  the  Bureau 
has  at  present  in  hand  about  seventy-five  distinct 
lines  of  research. 

COAL   MINING    INVESTIGATIONS 

For  several  years  a  cooperative  investigation  of 
mineral  resources  and  the  mining  and  metallurgical 
practice  of  the  Middle  West  has  been  carried  on  from 
the  University  of  Illinois  as  a  center,  by  the  United 
States  Bureau  of  Mines,  the  State  Geological  Survey, 
and  the  Department  of  Mining  Engineering.  This 
work  has  recently  been  enlarged  and  Urbana  made 
one  of  the  experiment  stations  of  the  United  States 
Bureau  of  Mines.  By  this  means  it  has  been  possible 
to  secure  the  joint  efforts  of  mining  engineers,  geolo- 
gists and  chemists  in  the  employ  of  the  three  con- 
tracting parties  to  make  investigations  covering  a 
broad  range  of  mining,  metallurgical  and  geological
